Personal Branding Across Cultures Blogathon

  • 1 min read

Personal branding is now on the world stage. Initially a ‘western’ concept, it is fair to say that the need to brand oneself is a global phenomenon. Even in cultures where standing out is not the norm, we can see people embracing the value of identifying one’s uniqueness and proactively communicating this promise of value to the world.

In my own work as a personal branding consultant in Japan I have connected with personal branding experts in more than 25 countries. Personally I have learned so much from these folks and how they are pioneering personal branding movements within their cultures. The value each of them brings to the personal branding field is remarkable, however, I have realized that most of them, me included, tend to be very isolated. We all seem to work within the ‘vacuum’ of our respective cultures. Yet there is a huge need to highlight our work and the global reach of personal branding.

Hence, the motivation for a Personal Branding Across Cultures blogathon! For 14 days I am hosting a ‘Personal Branding Across Cultures’ series on my blog.  From June  9 to June 22 enjoy the insights from these leaders about personal branding in their countries. Here is a preview of whom to expect with the title of their posts.
